stability problems

Hello Newsgroup

I have stability problems with my Postgres 6.4 database. I am using PHP4.0.4
and get access to the db. Sometimes when about 10-20 clients are using the
website the postgres deamon shuts down and the message "no backend cache"
appears. The processor ist at 60%-80% and about 10-15 postgres processes are
on my linux machine. So what can i do ?

My postgres-command is: /usr/lib/pgsql/bin/postmaster -B
2048 -i -o -F -D/var/lib/pgsql

Thanks
Lars

Upgrade to 7.1 as soon as it's out (shouldn't be long now)..

I successfully migrated a 6.4 database to a 7.1 database while 7.1 was in
the early beta stages, a few minor problems but the entire process only took
half an hour to complete..

Good luck!

Postgres has had multiple enhancements and bug fixes since
version 6.4.  I have had over 50 clients running simultaneously
with no problems with Postgres 7.0.3 & PHP 4.0.4pl1 on Linux.
Please download and install a newer version.  If you need any
help doing this then email the list.  Don't forget to the dump
the database(s) first.

- dumping a tables' 'subtree'

From
Marek PUBLICEWICZ
Date:
Hello,

    I'd like to ask, if anyone has written a tool, allowing to
dump the tables (both the schema and the data), basing on the
'base' table_name, specified by the user. The tables that the database
consists of, form a tree (as a result of the relations), so what I'm
looking for is a program (script), issuing the 'DROP *', 'CREATE *', 'COPY
FROM ' commands in the proper order. pg-dump dumps the whole 'tree' - I'd
like to be able to specify myself the 'root' of this 'tree'.

I realize, that my influency in English makes the description more vague,
than it should be :) sorry.

                regards,  mark

PS. The reason why I feel I'm in need of suach a thing is that in general,
when I try do pg_dump the database I'm working with, I get the errors -
sometimes the inherited constraints seem to be unappropriate (both in
terms of definitions and with their names), the COPY FROM clause sometimes
also (starting with a particular row) generates error. Analyzing this
would be much more simple, if I focus on the 'subset' of the whole dump -
200+ tables for me is just too big bunch of info.

The other reason is, that all the tables form (logically) several parts -
I keep them together, because the parts interact (joins occur) between one
another. And I'd like to be able to dump a specific logical part.
